Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2014008944A1] Apparatus and methods for the communication of data in a printing device are described. The apparatus enable communication between a control system and a plurality of printhead controllers. They have respective interface controllers for encoding and decoding one or more data streams that are communicated via a coupling medium. Print data is encoded for transmission as one or more data streams with a deterministic latency. Packet-based control data is also embedded in the one or more data streams. After receipt, the print data and the packet-based control data are extracted from the one or more data streams for control of at least the plurality of printhead controllers. Status data may also be encoded as a data stream and sent back to the control system.
